Starting with the age of 15, he was teaching privately in Bucharest, until the age of 19 when he left for London.
Great Britain was the country where he established himself as an efficient teacher, being even from his arrival the private assistant of his Royal Academy of Music Professor, Remus Azoitei.
Always sociable, open and close to young people, Tudor was invited throughout England to “preside”open music classes for big number of pupils: playing violin, talking about music, answering and asking question, presenting his instrument, involving everyone, in what most of the Schools Committee named “a fresh sharing enthusiasm, perfectly structured musical class.”
Tudor Andrei’s method of teaching blends features of Eastern and Western European Schools of Violin Teaching, always in demand to share his knowledge with talented, ambitious and hardworking students and promoting them.
